Police these days seem to be utterly cowards! The least motion by a ‘suspect’ is considered a deadly threat which they must responded to with equally deadly violence.

I was just reading an article on lawfirms.com about police being over aggressive and taser happy across not only the US, but even in Canada:

Bow and kneel? Almost.

It seems that we’re moving towards some sort of dark Monty Python reality where officers walk up, taser everyone around, draw their weapons and/or start clubbing/kicking, and only then announce themselves as police and begin asking questions…

How dare citizens seem to disobey our police masters? Perhaps we should all learn to bow deeply and kneel as a policeman approaches. This of course must be done slowly and correctly so as not to upset the officer’s sensibilities. Perhaps it should be taught to all children in elementary school. All hail our new, redefined and improved democracy.

I guess this is what they will call “the clean hands doctrine” there in San Hosey.
